DLA Piper LLP (US) is frequently instructed by clients in heavily regulated industries on the environmental aspects of corporate, real estate, and finance transactions. Under the leadership of Washington DC’s Gwendolyn Keyes, San Francisco-based George Gigounas, and Jeffrey Salinger, operating out of the New York office, the firm draws from its strong representation and warranty insurance practice to provide clients insight into exclusion from coverage and diligence on environmental transactions. Beyond Jeffrey Salinger’s focus on corporate, finance, and real estate transactions, Salinger also advises on ESG, climate change, and brownfield redevelopment projects. Over in the DC office, Andrew Cooper is a key contact for purchasers, sellers, lenders, and borrowers in potential environmental liability in transactions, with recent instructions by Carlisle Companies Incorporated in its execution of a definitive agreement to acquire all of the equity interests of PFB Holdco, Inc.
